It Is A Fact,

that in the last 48 years the worlds population has doubled,

and at some point later this year mankind will reach a milestone, the eight billionth human will be born, and thanks to Visual Capitalist it is easy to see the breakdown of the worlds population, the illustration above is on this page, the above is also then broken down into areas, 

like this one for Europe, it seems almost unreal that in less than my lifetime there are twice as many of us as there were before, in case you are wondering this data come from, the source is the United Nations, Department of Economic and Social Affairs, Population Division via Worldometer’s live tracker (as of Sept 27, 2022), shown in the context that the UN has estimated that November 15th, 2022, will be the date that the world population officially hits 8 billion, amazing!
